GitHub allows for a redirect such that a URL in the form of https://github.com//owner/name/releases/latest/download/asset-name.zip is redirected to the release tagged Latest. However, if there is no artifact named asset-latest.zip (or something similarly version agnostic), then that request will fail.
It would be nice to avoid hard-coding a version in URLs used to retrieve gorson. For example, in pbsorg Dockerfile, we have this:
RUN wget https://github.com/pbs/gorson/releases/download/4.2.0/gorson-4.2.0-linux-amd64 (now woefully out-of-date). This would be avoided with the kind of indirection suggested.
